Auto-detecting Your Internet Connection
The Smart Setup Wizard searches your Internet connection for servers and protocols to determine
your ISP configuration.
To use the Smart Setup Wizard to assist with configuration or to view the Internet connection
settings:
1. From the Setup Wizard screen, select Yes for the Auto-Detect Connection Type, and then click
ext to proceed.
The Setup Wizard detects your ISP configuration. Depending on the type of connection, you
are prompted to enter your ISP settings, as shown in the following table.
ote: The wizard cannot detect a PPTP connection with your ISP. If your ISP uses this
protocol, then you must configure your connection manually (see “Understanding
the Basic Settings Screen” on page 1-8).

address. For a fixed IP address configuration, you must obtain
DNS server addresses from your ISP and enter them manually
